Over the last year, I've gotten a lot of requests for a fingerstyle cover of ‪@ericclapton‬'s "Tears in Heaven," so I wanted to send this out to anyone whose been wanting or needing to hear it. It's such a sad song lyrically, but I always appreciated how hopeful the music felt... with the melody and arrangement dropping down into minor, only to resolve back into major tones, and lifting up into the major key change for the bridge. I think it's that tug of war between light and dark that makes blues music so helpful when people are feeling bad, because it reminds them that, no matter what challenges they're facing, they're not alone out there.

Don't think Mr.Clapton can play close to your skills performance amazing technique with extra colouring not boring at all....Even with out vocals sounds better then original...Excellent composition styling in your playing 😎

@williamrobertson1563 3 года назад

@Vladimir bud if you think so. There are few that are imitated but never will they be the original. Such as Jmi Hendrix, Steveie Ray Vaughn , Jo Bonamassa, BB King, Albert King, Robert Cray, and let's not forget the king himself Robert Johnson. Now you can sound like them sure, but to be them nah. Justin Johnson ranks among these legendary performers. So sit down be calm play the blues and carry on.

@Vladimir wow that must be some high horse your ride there bud. Got you all in your feelings. Don't take it personal it's my opinion, and as I have said opinions are like assholes everyone had one :Most of them stink. I'm glad that there are people like you. Those live by what I think is right kinda people. I'm more of a live day to day guy. Three strokes and ptsd im kinda glad. I'm not going ape shit on you like you are on me but you know it takes all types. So like I said before be calm carry on and live your life. I will think twice before crossing a bridge on here again. Trolls like you all to common. Plus I was just trying to tell jj what I think. So keep your opinion to yourself plus invest in a dictionary. Artist and musician have two totally different definitions.

@g-palloyd3600 3 года назад

I love guitar! I can go from Steve Vai to Glenn Campbell, from Roy Clark to Stevie Ray Vaughan to Clapton. I can listen (and love) Flamenco, blues, hard rock, country, classic etc. Now my point is this: As I listen to this young man, what is it that makes his music stand out so much? Any Guitar player can find and execute chords (even me! 😜), thousands upon thousands can finger pick, so what makes him so damn good? The standard explanation is things like he feels the music (which he most certainly does) , hours upon years of practice (witch is surely true) etc.etc. But I think his impeccable, masterful, timing and inner sense of melody is on a level seldom reached, even by professionals. Even though I love to listen to Vai, Vaughan or Hendricks, you can’t help from occasionally feeling their playing fast, just to play fast to prove they are good. Justin never lets his abilities upstage the music. In short, he gets it. Just close your eyes and listen.......beyond the notes and find the smoothness. After so many years, I have really found the G.O.A.T.......Justin Johnson.

@douglasfuqua7082 3 года назад

Justin F E E L S each song (and lyrics), arranges a special, and unique, version in his head, his fingers, timing, loud-softness on each note is only decided (in real time), as he actually PERFORMS/records the video. (my guesstimation).... you've been chording/noting a long time... maybe longer than me (64 1/2 years). You know....because you play that way, too. Justin just has his own, unique style and "feel" for each musical piece. Loved your comment....I read every one you make here. Good stuff. Doug aka "Crossbow" (BMI, songwriter), etc.)

@g-palloyd3600 3 года назад

@@douglasfuqua7082 ... thanks , Doug! Yep, we get what this young man's getting! And I been plinking/plucking for over 60......but I don't sound like this, and that's ok cause I got him to listen to. Have a good day, sir. Nice talking!

My brother had just passed away when I heard this song for the first time I was really young but I can remember when I found out I asked my mom where is Robert, and she didn't say anything and I remember asking if we going to to go see him and she still didn't answer me. So, I asked her if went to heaven and she just started crying. I remember asking that cause he was very sick, with cancer and I remember the reason I asked was because of this song. I must have only been 4 or 5 years old. Thanks for this Justin I love this song and it always bring a bid of sorrow to me but also it makes me grateful. I am the same age now as my brother was when he passed away.

TEARS IN HEAVEN" I was crying to The Lord Night before last. Lost my Dog near Pine Mt. Observatory yesterday, spent the next 12 hrs looking for him. Hiked 15 mi. yelling my lungs off and completely lost my voice. Couldn't stand or walk any further so tried to get some rest, Cried Out to The Lord with all my heart and wept. About 4am. he found me on the trail. I Thank God I Praise God!!! Harley is my most loyal and best friend. I never hiked so far, so hard for so long in my life-(15mi steep rugged terrain). I was physically and mentally exhausted, honestly just about killed me, I prayed the Lord take me and save him. I'm still sore all over and trying to recover. Pine Mt. is the Extrem Way Way Way OutBack of central Or. And one of the "Darkest" places on earth. We 4x4'd into the most remote and highest place.

I was just talking about my granddaughter who passed away 16 years ago, and to come home to see you posted this Justin. I thank you for this as I know she is with God. She knew 1 month before she passed that she was going to leave this earth. My granddaughter Alyssa told her mom (my daughter) 1 month before she passed that she was going to die in a fire and it was coming soon. 1 month later she passed away in a fire but God protected her body as her bed was never touch by the flames. the whole house burnt except a complete circle around the bed was burnt but God must have shielded the inside of that circle as her body wasn't touched. The firemen said they couldn't understand what they saw and starting crying. Alyssa was 5 years old and God called her home for a reason. Thank you for this beautiful playing of Tears In Heaven.
